Dolly Parton’s $1 million act of kindness in the wake of devastating event

Dolly Parton has reminded people of her incredible generosity after she announced she is parting with $1 million for a good cause.

The 78-year-old has dipped into her “personal bank account” to donate the money towards relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

Last week, Helene tore through the Southeastern states of the US, causing devastation in cities like Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and many more.

At least 225 have died, with the category four hurricane causing flash flooding and infrastructural damage, and at the time of writing, over half a million properties remain without power.

Dolly revealed her donation at a press conference in her home state of Tennessee on Friday, she said: “From myself, personally, just from my own bank account, I’m donating a million dollars today.

“God has been good to me and so has the public, and I feel that if there’s anything I can do to give back in any way I can I’m always willing to do that. I want to feel like I’m doing my part.”
